Every two months I partner with Better Homes and Gardens products for Walmart. Since January is all about a fresh start, it was the perfect opportunity to give the laundry room at the Las Vegas house a refreshed look for the new year. The makeover took only a few days, it was simple and budget friendly, but completely transformed the space from dingy and dated to fresh and fabulous!
Here’s the before and after, details on the makeover to follow.
This house has no hallway linen closet so these cabinets tucked in the corner serve the same function. The cabinets were in great shape, but the off-white paint had yellowed over time so instead of replacing them, repainting them made the most sense.
To refinish them, I lightly sanded them with a medium grit sanding wedge to remove any debris then primed with Zinnser’s oil based primer. I painted over them with two thin coats of ‘White on White’ semi gloss leftover from when we painted the home’s doors and baseboards. (For more in depth details on how to refinish cabinets, read this post). The wall color is the same as in the kids’ room (also leftover paint) and a pretty shade of pale aqua blue, ‘Melting Moment’ by Behr.
Hardware always makes a difference, these are simple oval knobs in brushed nickel I found at Home Depot.
Also there was the issue of the old wallpaper. Stripping is always the first and arguably better option, we dealt with that headache downstairs, but in this space I took a different approach. I primed and painted over it which you can do if the wallpaper is in good shape (no rips or tears).
Surface prep is the key to seal it and hide the old pattern. First, fill in any gaps with spackling, when dry sand any bumps or residue, then prime the wallpaper (I used two coats to hide the pattern) with an oil based primer. Here is a helpful video explaining the steps on painting over old wallpaper with greater detail.
We added a shelf for additional storage above the washer and dryer, Matt cut 2 ½ x ½” boards to support the new 11” melamine shelf (supplies from Lowes) and attached it to the wall with wood screws and a brad nailer.
I accessorized with products from the Better Homes and Gardens line at Walmart, pictured are the wall mounted drying rack and the flip tight storage containers.
The flooring was poorly installed white vinyl, rather than replace it at this time I caulked the visible seams and covered it up with carpet tiles from FLOR. The drum semi-flush light is from Lowes. The space still needs a hamper and I’d like to add more hooks for drying pool towels on the right but for now it’s a huge change from what it was!

I love how the space looks now! So fresh and bright! Adding that shelf was a great idea, too. =)
As usual, it looks wonderful! I might not even mind doing laundry if I were in a room like that.
I really like that wall color. I keep trying different pale blues and greens in our bathrooms, but can’t seem to find one I’m really happy with. Maybe that one will work.
A nice bright laundry, I love the wall color!
Great re-do! So bright and cheery… one may feel inspired to do the laundry now! I’m sharing this on facebook too. Liz from http://www.HometoCottage.com
That looks great – and I see a couple of ideas I can use in my own laundry room!
lovely! so bright and cheery! :)
Wow! What a difference! Love the wall color with the bright white paint.
What a terrific transformation! My laundry is in the basement. It’s dark and depressing. Love this room!
Love it!
Love the wall color. The FLOR tiles are so refreshing!
So fresh and lovely!
Great job on the laundry room redo! It’s on my list to make my laundry room over this year too.
We just moved in with my in-laws and their wash room is about a tenth the size of yours- but I think the bright white and the shelf above the washer is exactly what they need! Great job
I absolutely love the drying rack! So cute!!!
A great update! Love those Flor tiles!
Looks beautiful! I love the crisp, clean color palette. Perfect for the room from which everything should come out clean :-).
Very clean and fresh looking! Wish I had a laundry room.
Love the shelf above the washer and dryer, very practical and pretty! Flor tiles are a great idea, wouldn’t have thought of that! Beautiful!
Looks awesome!
Simply beautiful! Funny thing is I have the exact same cabinets in my laundry room. How did you deal with the exposed hinges?
It’s amazing what a coat of white paint can do for brightening up a room. I love the fresh, clean vibe!
What an amazing laundry makeover! I could use a shelf or two in my laundry room and you make it look so easy.
Love it. Simple and fresh!!
I love that paint color!
Looks so fresh and clean!!!
So bright and pretty!
What an amazing difference!! I love the idea of carpet tiles over top a floor you didn’t like. And I definitely need to add a shelf like that in the empty space above my washer and dryer.
Love the fresh colors!
What a happy space to do laundry! Love the colors! :)
Love the wall color! This space looks so bright and clean now.
Lovely :) you may address this elsewhere, but why oil based primer? Because it lays down better? Can you cover with latex or enamel?
I love the drying rack–I really need one like that in my laundry room!
What a beautiful laundry room, we had to deal with a lot of wallpaper in our house too by far the best option was to paint over it (ours was applied to the drywall with no primer). Thank you for sharing your lovely photos.
It looks so clean and simple, I’d want to do laundry if mine looked like that! And it could, if I win the gift card because my laundry room is designed exactly like yours so I’m pinning this post to copy this in my room. Thank you!
haPpy to see an example of an all white laundry room! Thinking of doing something similar in our house! Looks great!
Love this makeover! If I had the chance to build any room from the ground up it would be the laundry room…because I spend so much time in there!
Love the transformation.
Love this! Thats a nice drying rack too
Looks great! Amazing what a little elbow grease and a vision can do! Love all the storage!!
What a great use of fresh color!!
Love that wall color! I’m thinking of using it in our hall bath.
I need to update my laundry room and this has great ideas! Love the colors, the hanging rack and the rug on the floor. Now I just need to get started.
It is crazy what some paint can do to a space. Everything looks so much brighter. And I love the FLOR carpet squares. Nice mini reno!
Love it! Looks so fresh and clean. Great make over.
Looks lovely – so clean and fresh!
It looks awesome! Love how much brighter it looks!
This is almost exactly like my laundry and you have picked up some great Walmart items to use. The laundry rack is on order as I type. Well done!
It’s so nice to see a functional laundry makeover! Nice work!
It looks so clean and fresh. I love the pop of color from the new carpet tiles!
Looks great! Love how airy it looks now.
Love this time if year, de cluttering and organizing!!
My laundry room is the first priority on my to-do list this year! The layout is a lot like this one. Hope my turns out half as cute. :)
I was JUST looking at the accordian style clothes dryer for my own laundry room. Fingers crossed. Thank you for the opportunity.
White makes such a difference! Looks nice.
Love it! So simple, yet such a huge difference!
Love how bright and clean it is!
I have the better homes and garden canisters and they ROCK! They are easy to open, come in a variety of styles and are also pretty. I would by 10 more, if I could.

looks so great! makes me want to do a load of laundry lol
So lovely, as always! What a bright and inspiring makeover!

Wow, what a difference! Looks great!
Your laundry room re-do is super. I’ve really got to try your technique and paint a cabinet in my downstairs bath. I love everything you post. Vikki in Va
You really made that sad little room fresh and pretty! Paint power!
How great! I love that color on the wall and I will be running out to get that drying rack asap! One day I will finally get it together, take some inspiration from you, and paint a few cabinets. One day soon…
Great job! I love the pull out drying rack.
Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing difference. You’re so lucky to have such great light too. It’s beautiful. My laundry room is tiny and enclosed with no window. But you have inspired me to get to work and make it cheery!
Wow, what a difference! Love the wall color.
Wow! What a difference paint and a few accessories can make!
It never ceases to amaze me what a simple coat of white paint can do for a space. It looks lovely. I also love the laundry drying rack. I might just have to pick one up.
Great job. What a difference a coat of paint can do.
This turned out great! I need to update mine, too.
It looks so bright and refreshed. Great job!
Will definitely be looking for that drying rack at my Walmart! Aqua is always so fresh and clean feeling, nicely done!
It’s beautiful! I wish mine was this big!
I am definitely going to get that wall mounted drying rack. Maybe even two. I have the floor type and they are in the way of our new puppy. Beautiful upgrades in your laundry room. Thanks for the ideas.
So pretty! What a dramatic difference and love the soft colors. I want the drying rack! Thanks for sharing.
Love the redo!
Nice work! I really like the wall mounted drying rack. I need one of those myself.
How fresh ! I will never tire of white and paired with aqua is fabulous. I love the Better Homes and Garden line at Walmart. I was able to recycle my November issue just today. Sept’s and Nov’s were really great issues this year.
It would not be a chore working in that laundry room. Great Job!
The laundry room looks amazing! I have years of experience helping my brothers paint professionally (interior/exterior) and it still amazes me what a little paint can do.
WOW! Much easier on the eyes and way more functional! And with simple upgrades! Looks fantastic!
Amazing what a very creative mind can do on such a sensible budget. The room really looks fab!
I enjoyed the transformation, especially what you did with the floor and drying rack. Quite inspirational to save space. Thank you for sharing and this opportunity to win!
Angela
Love it! I love the blues you added Kate!
you have taken from drab to fab. Love it especially your choice of paint colors
you made the laundry room look so clean and inviting!
Love it!
I love this update – and it actually seems achievable. Everything looks great. My fave is the floor transformation – the Flor carpet tiles are so cute. Would love to know how they hold up, as we’ve been debating them for our laudry room.
Some things are not rocket science! Nice job…blue is very freshmlookimg!
I want that drying rack and the ceiling light!
A little white paint can make all the difference. Well done!
Well done!
Much brighter and clean looking!
Beautiful! Love the transformation!
We recently moved into a new to us home and I want to freshen up our laundry room – love what you have done and I am going to have to use that Melting Moments color on the walls!
I’ve been an avid reader and subscriber to your blog/emails for years. Simply said, I love your style – fashion forward with a clean, fresh, welcoming feel! You’ve been a terrific source of inspiration for me in remodeling some of my rooms. Still have a few more left to do. Your DIY instructions are clearly written and extremely helpful. I appreciate your talents and hard work. It’s so apparent you put your heart in all of your projects❤️ Thank you!
You always inspire me to do get creative in my house. I love the light in the laundry room. I’m going to buy one for my closet.
Looks really nice. Good job.
Love the new look. Definitely like the idea of painting the wallpaper.
love the redo
What a pretty laundry room! I especially love the Melting Moments paint, the Flor tiles, and the shelf.
I love the wall color, plus I would never have guessed you painted over the wallpaper.
Another job well done! Thanks for the info on painting over wallpaper. We had the same thing done in our laundry room but apparently my painter did not prep correctly as I have a few seams showing through the paint. Nothing major but irritates me when I go in there to do laundry. I would like the walmart gift card to purchase the headboard you used in the master bedroom. What is your impression of the quality of that headboard?
I’m in the process of redoing my laundry room – thanks for the fresh ideas!
Thanks for telling me how to prep and paint over old wallpaper! Seems like every house I renovate has wallpaper-itis!
Love seeing pretty & budget friendly updates!
A Walmart gift card would go a long way in my laundry room. Nice job, Kate.
LOVE that wall color!
Inspires me to address my tiny closet-laundry…
I like the simplicity of this room…in my opinion, a laundry room should always be a light color…
i love the crisp white cabinets and that fabulous shade of blue on the wall – such a difference!
LoVe that Wall color!!
What a difference! Great job!
Wow what a difference! Love it!
Love those FLOR tiles…..beautiful pattern
Beautiful. I’m sure as easy as you make it sound it was still a lot of work. Great job.
So clean and pretty. It’s amazing what a few simple changes can do to a space.
What a fresh change and bright cheerful place to do laundry.
I need that shelf!
What a transformation! I’m always amazed what paint can do. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love it!
so bright — I have been thinking about painting my shelves in my laundry area as well — you have inspired me to do so!
It looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love it! I am currently doing our laundry room so this was perfect timing :)
Great job!! Everything looks so fresh and bright. I could do laundry without any problems in that room. Thanks for the giveaway.
The laundry room looks great! I appreciate your review of the better homes & garden line at walmart & becuase of you I’m interested in purchasing the headboard you featured. If I win the giftcard, I’d definitely make that purchase!
So bright and fresh. Great job!
Great job! I need to put a shelf in mine like you did. It looks so neat and organized!
Shelley
I really love this. A practical re-do of a room that won’t break the bank or require a professional to implement. Thank you so much! I was in need of this “can do” boost.
Love the floor tiles!
This looks great! Thanks for showing the drying rack. It looks nice and sturdy.
Wow! I am so impressed! You are very creative and talented! I need your help with my renovations!!!!!
I’m getting ready to do my laundry room and I love the simplicity of your room! The light colors make it so bright! Thanks for sharing :)
Great tip about painting over wallpaper!
Great transformation…who wouldn’t want to do the laundry now…it is so pretty! On my way to Walmart for a drying rack now…thanks for sharing!

It’s amazing what a few little updates can do. It’s so crisp and fresh. Love!
I’d love to win…love all the products you highlighted. The laundry room looks great!
This entire home transformation is fun to see and read about. Thank you for sharing these updates with all of us. I love what you did to transform the laundry room. If I were to win the $100 gift card, I would transform the storage options in my closet.
Room looks great!!!! You are so talented!
Great transformation. I really like the drying rack.
Great transformation, such a bright space!
Such a bright and cheerful space, love the colors!
Quite the transformation for little investment money-wise, very nice!!!
Awesome transformation! Thanks for the ideas.
Your blog is great. You do so many things I would like to do in my house. I have saved your blog posts for future inspirational ideas when the time comes to doing things in my house. THis is the exact laundry room I have. I was looking for some inspiration as to what to do with my room for some time now. I am going to do the the shelf but make so that it folds back on top of itself and open it when needed and use it as a folding shelf when folding clothes. The Drying rack I have even saved the site so that I can purchase this. The Drying rack is exactly the one I was looking for and yet haven’t found it but today I did from your site. Also. I wanted this paint color, but didn’t want to have to go look and guess and try a bunch of colors to find the right color. Now from your blog I have written the name of the paint and know the exact color I am going to purchase. Your blog is great and shows me that little ole Mary can do this or that too.
I have been following yr blog for years now and have never stopped being inspired by all you do. keep up the good work.
Great makeover. Love the colors and the wall mounted drying rack.
Beautiful room..Love what your doing on the flipper..After all that work l don’t think l’d be able to sell it..
Love the fresh new feel. Looks great!
I love the bright colors, it’s so fresh and clean feeling! Pinned and tweeted. :)
Anna
Nice transformation! We are making similar changes in my house!
Great transformation! I have a laundry room with a similar configuration and is painted light green. I prefer the color you chose and white cabinets. Thanks for the idea!
So gorgeous!
That looks fabulous. Gave me some ideas for my laundry room!
Looks amazing. Well done!
Looks wonderful!
Love the laundry room makeover. I was recently discussing, with my husband, the need for a wall mounted drying rack. Gotta check out Walmart. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the transformation. What a difference just a little paint can make.
What a beautiful transformation! I need to do this to my laundry room. Thanks for the inspiration!
That room now looks like a place clothes will get clean. :) Wonderful job!
Love everything you did. Great Job!
I love your laundry room makeover and love the BHG line of products at Wal-Mart!
I really like the turquoise and white floor!
Super cute and fresh. It makes me want to do laundry!
Looks wonderful! And you made it sound so easy!
Love the pullout rack!
Love the little shelf above the washer and dryer! What a great idea!
Love the wall mounted drying rack! The room looks awesome already!!
Great makeover, I might have to get that pull out drying rack. I have been eyeing the tripod lamp every time I go to Wal-mart, so this gift card would come in handy.
I want the wall mounted drying rack – but I do not know where I could put it in our laundry room. The shelf is an idea I may use.
Wow! What a beautiful makeover!
I would love to do laundry in such a pretty laundry room!
Love the flooring carpet tiles & the drying rack which I think I’ll add to my laundry room. Maybe that will eliminate the problem of the shower curtain rod always falling down when I’m drying my clothes. Lol
Love how fresh and bright the space looks now! I’ve had my eye on FLOR tiles for awhile now but haven’t figured out a way to use them that’s not super expensive. This alternative is such an affordable idea and in a room that might have clorox spills at some point, it’ll be nice to have the option to just switch out damaged tiles! Nice work! :)
LUVV LUVVV so fresh
Great job Kate! Looks clean and fresh!!
Great laundry room. Mine is in dire need of a refresher!
lm inspired to redo my laundry. We just moved into a new “old” home.
Very nice, clean and fresh!
Love the wall color with the crisp white cabinets!
Great laundry space!
I love when some small changes have such dynamic results. I want the wall mounted drying rack – it’s perfect for my space.
I love the new bright space.
love it! I need to go to Wal-Mart!
Love the laundry room.
I would be o nervous to paint over wallpaper. It looks great!
Can’t even believe that it’s the same room. Wow!
I really love the carpet tiles! The whole look is very fresh and inspiring. Great job!
I’m moving on the 28th of this month and am definitely going to brighten up the laundry room. Thanks for these great tips!
Great room!I really like the folding wall rack.
How funny, I was busy pinning laundry makeovers this morning!
Amazing what paint can do to transform a room!
What a simple makeover
Great room redo! I love the (affordable) BHG line at Walmart, that drying rack is awesome!
So fresh, love the carpet tiles.
Night and day difference! Lovely!
Love the fresh clean look of this laundry room!
what a great example of a budget friendly makeover & i love the added shelf over the appliances!
It is looking great and so much more fresh! I, too, am working on a redo of our laundry room. I have been trying to find a rug and was thinking about using the FLOR tiles. Are yours an indoor/outdoor variety?
Kate you do have great vision. Not necessarily a plus for a lawyer but definitely the key to your new passion. Great redo.
As always, a pretty transformation. Very classy and simple.
Love the changes you made
Great job! …. Such a clean and bright room, I love how the shelf ties it all together.
I’ve been looking for a drying rack like that! And great tips on painting over wallpaper. I need to tackle that myself!
It looks awesome!
Wow, that is like daylight and dark! Love it, sure could use this one! Thanks for the chance!
Love this! The new fresh paint has made all the difference. Well done!
Absolutely breath taking!
My laundry is in the garage how nice to have a laundry room! It looks amazing!
SO fresh!!! And lovely – plus, showing how a limited budget (i.e. not replacing cabinets and doing a complete overhaul, etc) can still totally transform a room. :-) Thanks for the chance to win!!
What a difference that shelf makes, while adding storage to the room it also adds character. I didn’t know Walmart carried this drying rack, winning this gift card would help me to purchase it. I have cupboards similar to these except there is about 4 inches of empty space on each side between them and the wall, I have been looking for ideas of how to make them look more like built-ins. I am loving finding the quality home decor items at Walmart in the Better Homes and Garden line.
Love the drying rack!
Wonderful transformation! My laundry room definitely needs updating and this has inspired me.
repainting the yellowed cabinets made a huge improvement. Love the fresh paint too.
I love the Flor tiles! It looks great!
Thanks for your breakdown. Going to implement some of these in our laundry room…they are very similar!
This would make laundry FUN! so cute, great job!!

whilemyboyfriendsaway.blogspot.com on my
We’re currently reorganizing our pantry, and $100 would buy a lot of pretty supplies! :) The laundry room makeover looks great!
Beautiful! Our laundry room is the only room in our house that hasn’t been painted since we moved in; it could definitely use a refresh!
It’s amazing what some paint and spackle can accomplish. Nicely done!
I love the wall color with the fresh white walls. it looks bright and sunny
I love how fresh and bright the laundry room is now! Thank you for showing us what a little work and elbow grease can make all the difference.
It looks so much better! Love how clean and fresh it looks now!

My laundry room, which is also a mudroom entry from the garage, was refreshed 4 years ago. But, the refresher …needs a refresher.
Amazing! I am going to get me a drying rack and may try to add a shelf.
Looks great as always!
I love it! Sometimes the small projects really are the best!
The laundry room looks great!! Always an inspiration!
I never thought I would say this, but I love the carpet squares!
Definitely refreshing! I love the addition of the shelf
Such a great transformation!

I love it!!! It’s always great to have a fun place for all of lifes little chores!! Thanks so much for all of the inspiration you share!
Much improved!
Great updated look! Nice and fresh and blue is my favorite, so that’s a plus! The paint and rug made 95% of the difference IMO. My utility/laundry room could use a refresh like this!
Wow, painting the cabinets white really brightened up the small space. Great job turning the laundry room into a place someone might want to be in ;)
The light & airy effect is perfect & necessary for any laundry room. Not only does it give off that ‘Fresh & Clean’ feel ,but it also helps cheer you up when actually doing laundry , because lets face it who LIKES doing laundry most of the time ! Such a great makeover !
Paige.Rose
WHOA! Love that color for a laundry room. The white cabinets alone seriously changed the look but everything else you did makes that space much more inviting. I thing laundryrooms are a MUST for making over. If they’re dirty or dingy I feel like the clothes never get clean!?
Love the shelf for extra storage and the wall color.
Love the whole look. It is so clean and fresh.
wow!! Doesnt look like the same laundry at all?!
Wow! What a huge difference. I love that drying rack. I have got to spruce up our mudroom now that you’ve inspired me. :D

THe room looks amazing! Such a simple change but so different!
Beautiful makeover! I love the pull out drying rack. I’m going to look for that to add to my small laundry space.
Nice wall color
I love the rug and the wall color. So fun and fresh
It looks so bright and clean, awesome job. I don’t see any natural light and am wondering if that pretty light fixture provides ample lighting.
Definitely so much fresher! As always, the speed at which you do these makeovers amazes me!
I really like and want to add a drying rack like the one you added. I like it being off the floor.
Looks fresh and clean .
This looks so great!! I’m gearing up to do a laundry room overhaul as well so found his very inspiring. I need that drying rack!
It looks so clean and I love the soothing blue on the walls. Great job!

Wow love it. Got to get me that shelf behind and I love the jars!
So simple. So beautiful.
I’m going to copy that shelf behind the washer and dryer!
Love the clean and crisp white and aqua color scheme!!
I love the transformation. So bright and happy!
Every laundry room should be a pleasant and inviting room. Well done!
These small changes (lots of work though, I know) made a huge difference. It looks so fresh & organized. Great job!
It’s amazing what a little paint, new fixtures and a colorful rug can do to a laundry room. Love your color combinations.

What a fresh new look! Good job!
What a difference a little paint and some elbow grease makes!
Love the blue.

I LOVE how fresh and clean that looks!!
Very nice. I like the shelf idea. Am going to “encourage” my hubby to mimic.
I just updated my laundry room as well… a little bit of paint and a few accessories goes a long way. Great job.
Such a beautiful and affordable refresh!! Kate, I wish you could come decorate my house!
This looks great!! it always amazes me what a difference paint can make! It is a fresh and bright space now!!!!
Amazing what can be accomplished with just a few basic supplies and some elbow grease. Looks great!

Love this!!! As I do each one of your designs!!
Love the fresh look, I am working on mine as well and hope it is as bright and clean looking! I just used the Better Homes and Gardens Towels in a fun bathroom I just did for a client. We LOVE them and I was thrilled to find such style for such a great price! Details here : http://www.kimmacumberinteriors.com/blog/2015/1/8/turtle-bath-detailed

Very inspiring, and at just the right time for me! Thanks.
Love the updates! Gives me some great ideas to use in my own laundry room. Thanks!

Love the BHG line at WalMart…was just checking out their lampshades to fill a lampshade emergency :) and was impressed with their affordable lamps and mirrors…lots of look for less. Beautiful makeover ….I’m going to check out the drying rack next!
Nice but so white I would be afraid how easily it will get dirty
Awesome transformation! I am always amazed how small updates can have such a big impact! Thanks for the inspiration :-)
Wow! I’m always inspired by leftover paint + sweat equity :). This gets me excited to do our kids’ bath!! Thanks for the inspiration- and the chance to win!!
Never gets old, how paint transforms a space. I love how you do budget friendly makeovers for real folks out here like us. I love the drying rack, I’m not DIY & can’t afford pricey $200 options, definitely will be picking this up!
What a lovely makeover. The power of paint.
Love FLOR! Perfect use of great product.
Love the mounted drying rack. Just what I have been needing!
LOVE those Flor tiles! Beautiful room!
I just love the fresh look, what a transformation! Especially love the drying rack, now I need one :)
Love the blue and white, so calm and relaxing which is great for a room that can be all about the mess and chaos in our family of 9.
The floor tiles are adorable. They really add color to that bright space.
Love this makeover. Lots of ideas to use for my own laundry area makeover! I also have some wallpaper to paint over, so I really appreciate that tip!
Fresh is good, like the drying rack.
like the clean look and the expandable hanging rack

I love the laundry room update! Great color choices!

Looks great. I want to do this to my laundry room, but need to add a shelving unit as well.
Starting on our laundry rom refresh this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, I didn’t know Walmart carried a drying rack like that. I’d love to have one in my laundry room. The new room look amazing.
Always enjoy posts with the Better Homes and Gardens line. I haae a hard time finding the items at my Walmart though.
Whoever winds up buying/renting this Vegaas house was sure lucky to have you fix it up!
What a difference! I love your site; you inspired me to do a DIY renovation of my kitchen. I learned how to paint cabinets from reading your posts! Our kitchen has truly been a labor of love, as it is our first attempt at a project of this scale, but it is really coming together and I’m happy with the results! And coincidentally, we chose the same oval knobs that you used in this laundry room project :) Thank you for your keen eye, clear instructions, and ability to make us feel that we can do it!
You always do such fabulous work. Love following all your projects!
Great transformation. Love the wall paint color.
Such a pretty makeover! I used almost the same colors in my laundry room remodel this past year. Looks so clean and fresh. I found a drying rack from Ballard but it costs almost $200! I love the little rack from Walmart you used and didn’t even know they carried that product. I just ordered the drying rack from Walmart. Excited to put it up in my laundry room.
Looks great!
I’ve been thinking of redoing my laundry room next. It’s so tiny so I’m really having to think how to best utilize the space. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love the transformation! I have a mudroom which contains a laundry area and have been wanting to redo that space for quite some time. There are existing cabinets on the wall that are not wood and appear to be Formica. They are dated and a very ugly yellowish green color. I really want to change them, but wonder is ther a way to paint formica? Thanks…best wishes!
I love the drying rack!
I love the paint color and the cabinets look brand new with that bright white paint.
So fresh!
this looks amazing! I also love how you use what’s left over from other paint projects….so economical
Very nice! The washer and dryer even look like they received a makeover just because the space surrounding them looks better!
Thanks for the giveaway! Such an inspiration to make your spaces pretty with “little” changes!
I can’t wait for the day to remodel a laundry room for myself. This looks gorgeous!
Looks so clean and fresh! And I have been pleasantly surprised by so many of the BH&G products at Walmart lately. Definitely worth checking out.
Love your style, the simplicity and clean lines. Love that little drying rack also.
Would love to win. Need so much decor items for new home!
What a lovely refresh. Just about to tackle another re-do of our laundry room. Love the addition of the drying rack. I must check those out at Walmart. I’m thinking of placing it above the laundry tub for those “drip-dry” items.
Wow, Kate, what a huge difference! I love how bright and airy the laundry room looks in your after photos! I might even look for an excuse to do laundry in that room :)
Looks so much cleaner and bright!
Nice refresh! Thanks for the giveaway.
Bright and Light, great budget update.
How timely!!! I’ve started plans to update and organize my laundry room and just started yesterday by ordering the pan for under the washing machine! I like the color choice and accordion drying rack!
Beautiful!
Definitely need to spruce up our new laundry room, so dingy in the basement!
Looks great. Maybe you can also show us some tips for those of us with laundry rooms in the basement! Thanks!
Wow, it’s amazing what some cleaning and paint will do. I like the simple containers you used. I think I’ll check them out the next time I’m at Walmart. Thanks for mentioning where everything came from–nothing is more frustrating than to find a picture of what you want, but you don’t know what it’s called or where to find it. You do such a great job, always fun to see what you’ve been up to! thanks for sharing
Great job. You have made my creative juices flowing. Time to tackle my laundry room.
I love the wall color…so bright and cheerful for a laundry room!
I have similar cabinets in my laundry room. I am going to copy some of your ideas! Thanks for this post, It came at the right time!
I love love love the blue color in that laundry room. Kinda makes you want to do laundry. Kudos for a great redo!!!!
It looks so much brighter and fresh now
Im in the process of redoing my laundry “closet” and am definitely going to get one of those wall mounted drying racks!
Love the paint choices! You have inspired me to update my laundry room. The drying rack is awesome. It sure beats handing wet clothes from the door frames. Great job!
I love the blue and white combination. It looks so fresh and clean now!
Great job! I have a space just like that and it needs that drying rack!
Looks so nice and clean!!!!
What a great improvement without a huge investment! It looks so clean and updated.
What a beautiful transformation! You made smart choices that made a big impact in a short time. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Great refresh, looks great! The Flor tiles make the space.
Looks amazing! :) What can you do with mobile homes? ;) You’re welcome to work on mine!
Really, great job :) :)
Looks so bright! I love the wall color.
Lovely, fresh, clean!! Love it!! Love love love the rug!!
Great job on the laundry room refresh!
Beautiful remod…looks fresh and clean just like a laundry room should! Great job :)
I love how beautiful and simple this room looks!
Such little changes and the space has a whole new life! That drying rack is a great idea, way better that the one I have, where you have to pull it out each time, put it away and hide is somewhere (in a small place that could be interesting)
Thanks for sharing! Great turnout!
Beautiful transformation! Looks so fresh and clean.
Love how simply changes can make such a difference.
Fantastic! I’m actually looking for cute décor for my newly revamped laundry room/pantry. Check it out here. http://wp.me/p4cnx6-BQ
I would be happy to do laundry in there!
Love the update. So fresh, crisp and perfect!
Love how fresh it looks now! I need that drying rack!
I’m looking at doing some major remodelling myself, hope it turns out as well as yours!
Beautiful! I like the drying rack. Mixed reviews online but it is inexpensive enough to give it a shot.
So clean! Love it!
Clean and bright!
Lovely laundry room. Just takes time and money.
Love how you updated your laundry room! I don’t think I would mind doing laundry in there!! Well, maybe…..
Love this! Just in time to redo our laundry as well!
It looks so bright and fresh! This is my dream for a laundry room, but for now it’s in the dungeon part of my basement.
This was perfect timing as we are right in the middle of planning our laundry room redo! Cute drying rack! Does it hold things on hangers?
I just love your style and clean approach to your designs!
Leanne
Amazing what paint and imagination can accomplish to refresh a space.
Love it! Makes me want to work on my laundry room!
Looks great! love the organization and floor tiles
Looks fab!!!
Love the refresh! Makes me want to redo my laundry room.
Love the “new” laundry room!
Wish my laundry room had storage like this! I really like the air-tight containers used here. We have them in our pantry for dry goods–don’t know why I never thought of them for laundry supplies!
Love how bright and clean it looks, bought that drying rack and waiting for my husband to install- hope it looks as seamless as yours!
You always inspire me with your “afters.” I love to see how you totally transform and update a space. Using Better Homes and Garden products from Wal-Mart allows ALL of us an opportunity to update our homes with a smaller budget.
It always amazes me when I see how paint can make all the difference in the world. Love all the changes you made – very fresh and clean.
Thanks for the give-a-way.
Barbara in TN
The white paint made it look like a completely different room. I had to keep comparing and contrasting the pictures to make sure it was the same room. Fantastic job.
I love the BHG brand & your styling. Very inspiring.
Kate,
You are an inspiration. Now I’m Looking at some of the ways I can incorporate your ideas into our laundry room makeover!
I love the BHG brand & your styling. Very inspiring.
Love!
oh my gosh, this looks so great!
I am continually amazed at how much you accomplish in so little time!
This looks great! Love the bright white.
SO good!! I’m always amazed at the power of paint! Love the rug too!!
What a difference paint can do. I have been wanting to work on my laundry room but I feel that project always gets put on the bottom of my to-do. I definitely will be taking some inspo from your room!
So cute and fresh! I love the pale blue on the walls!
Oh to have a laundry room :)
Very Cute! My laundry room could use an refresh like this! Would love to win!
Beautiful, as always!
This looks great! You always do an amazing job on your projects. Excited for this giveaway!!
Love the Flor tiles and wall color! Nice job.
That made a huge difference. It looks great. And thanks for reminding me of the Flor carpet tiles. I’m trying to do something in my family room that the dog and the kids can’t ruin. Hopefully.
Love the makeover!
Your projects are always an inspiration!
Love your blog – what a difference in the laundry room! Thanks for the details re painting over old wallpaper.
Wonderful, clean looking refresh was all it needed! Great job.
What a fresh and pretty makeover. Aqua and white is such a winning color combo. Well done!
Nicely done! The area is so bright and cheerful now. Flor carpet tiles are a must on my next project! Off to update my dingy laundry room now :-) Thanks for the great ideas….
I really like that drying rack – that would be handy in my tiny laundry nook. Very pretty rug, too! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Wow, looks so much better and very budget friendly. I like that!
Crisp and clean! Looks great!
Love the dryig rack! I will definitely be looking for that during my weekly trip to Walmart! Did you adhere the carpet tiles in any way or are they just laid on the floor? If they aren’t adhered, do they move around at all?
The laundry room looks great! I’m amazed by your transformations no matter how small and budget friendly they may be.
Looks great love the rug!
Maybe if my laundry room looked this good, I would do laundry more often. Laundry is my least favorite chore…
The laundry room looks so clean and bright! What I love about this is how simple and budget friendly these changes are and they made such a huge difference. It looks fantastic!
Wow. Big difference for a small amount of money!
I’ve been looking for something like that drying rack! Not sure if this will take me out of the running for the contest, but could you comment on how you installed it and the sturdiness? There is a pretty critical review on the Walmart site regarding the quality of the rack. Just interested in your opinion before I consider ordering.
Love the subtle blue on the walls!
Great transformation, love the hardware.
Man how I wish I had a laundry room that size!!!
Looks great!! SO bright and fresh!!
What a delightful makeover and on a budget that is manageable! Great job, it looks fabulous! Love the drying rack and the shelf too, and of course, painted cabinets make such a huge difference!
Love the use of the drying rack! The step by step on covering wallpaper was super useful. You definitely have one of the best blogs that always draws me in!
Very inspiring! I could really make use of the drying rack-off to Walmart to check it and other BHG products!
It looks great! The wall-mounted drying rack caught my eye; that’d be so much handier than our current setup!
What a bright and fresh makeover. You’ve inspired me to do something about my dingy laundry room!
What an incredible change! I love the fresh blue color and the cabinet refresh!
This is beautiful! I love the pale aqua blue with the white!
Love the white on white with the colorful rug!
I have my laundry room in an unfinished utility area of our otherwise finished basement. I would love for it to look like this!
This is lovely! I too am in the midst of a laundry room refresh, but ours is also our mudroom, so the challenge is having it do multiple things! I like the shelf and the overhead light!
the laundry room looks great!!
Brightened the room up so much! Looks great!
Love the floor tiles! So cheerful :)
Looks GREAT! What a quick and simple change! Thank you for the inspiration!
Just sent my hubby a screenshot of the shelf-been meaning to do that! And I need that hanging drying rack!!! Glad it’s on sale! Looks great!
What simple and inexpensive fixes that make a huge difference!
Just the inspiring pictures I need to clean out, redecorate and make my laundry “spiffy”.
Love the simple changes that make a big impact! Looks like I need to add my laundry room to my “2015 refresh” list (:
I love the air-tight containers for the laundry soap – just a great idea and much prettier!!!
I’m always amazed at the BHG selection when I go to Walmart! Great simple laundry room makeover, and I like your use of leftover paint.
I’m working on my laundry room right now! It’s amazing what a coat of fresh paint will do.
Love the transformation! Would love to make-over my own Laundry Room.
Lovely! Your redo is simple, yet fresh & clean! Love it!! Thanks for a chance to win!!
This gives me great inspiration for my own Las Vegas house!
Nice! Space for laundry handling is such a huge issue for us. Dying to get it organized!
It looks very fresh!
What an inviting laundry room!
I love that you made it looks so bright and fresh without spending a ton of money. Great inspiration!
What a difference a few coats of paint make! Love the makeover!!
Love this – especially that floor tile!
I am also impressed with the way you painted over the wallpaper – great info on that!
Good job! It’s light and bright now.
It amazes me what just a little paint and hardware can do! Looks great!
It looks so fresh and clean! I’m definitely ordering that wall mounted drying rack!
Love the white. Looks so fresh and modern.
Looks great!
Very nice! Makes doing laundry much more pleasurable for sure!
I’ve enjoyed following your remodel, since we were doing one, too. We also installed tile planking throughout our new home and love, love, love the results. The laundry room featured in today’s post has some great take-away ideas. I really like the small shelf above the appliances. Thanks.
Love the updated laundry room…mine is overdue and you have given me an “spark” to get my butt in gear:)
I love this simple refresh, and I love the BH&G products at Walmart, too!
Love love love the clean and fresh look! It’s amazing what a difference painting the cabinets and walls did for this space!
That is a great transformation. I’d love to fix up and organize my laundry room. Right now, it’s a mess!
We have the same laundry room configuration. I updated ours in a similar color pallet with shelf, drying rack and all. I love it and what a difference it made! My husband still thinks I’m crazy…but then again, he doesn’t do the laundry! :)
I love the look. Wow. Much fresher. And thank you for not having a pintrest/facebook/etc giveaway. I only read blogs not the others so this is refreshing as well.
Looks beautiful and fresh!
Thanks for the details on how to update. My laundry room is next on my list.
I am loving your house transformation and this little laundry room is beautiful. Who wouldn’t want to do a load of laundry in this lovely space? You are giving me so many ideas and the courage to try some of them myself! I love the expandable drying rack and am going to head over to Walmart to get one for my son’s new condo- perfect!
Seriously!! Are you sure you don’t want to come help me refresh our house?? So simple and I love the color. I just repainted most of the downstairs and now the kitchen laundry and dining looking drab in comparison. I may do the laundry next.
What a great job on the laundry room (as well as the rest of the house)! Doing laundry in that room would almost be fun :)
Need to refresh my laundry room, too. Love what you did with yours!
That drying rack is amazing! I’m going to have to pick one up for myself. Fantastic job on the laundry room!
What a difference! The transformation is beautiful! I would love to do laundry in a such a beautiful room!
Nice work! It looks so fresh and bright…very inspirational! Man, the power of paint! :). Thanks for the opportunity!
I recently updated my laundry room and put in a shelf and did something similar with my detergent and scent beads…now trying to move into other rooms and update them, so that I don’t have to LIVE in my laundry room!
Love the fresh look. So clean!!
Looks Wonderful!!!
Such a beautiful transformation…doing laundry would be much for fun in a laundry room like that! Great job!
Love that drying rack and the pretty FLOR tiles!
Wow! Looks so fresh! I love what a fresh coat of paint can do to a room! Great wall color. Thanks for tips on sanding/painting!
Great job once again
Small but, I have to say my favorite part is the matching laundry soap!!1
Simple yet so effective. Looks great!
Love the FLOR tiles! Had never heard of those!
Looks great!
It always amazes me to see what a difference a coat (or two!) of paint can do to a room! It looks beautiful and I love all the accessories.
This looks great! I want to put a shelf over my top loading washer as well, love this look!
This is an amazing makeover and the flooring idea is phenomenal! Thanks for all the inspiration.
The laundry room re-do looks great. I am looking up ideas for when we want to re-do our laundry room. I have never heard of the flooring that you installed. It would definitely be something to consider! Thanks for the house update!
Love the drying rack. Right in the middle of our laundry room reno and this would be great. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love it. This has officially inspired me to give my laundry room a mini update.
Beautiful!!
Wow, what a clean and fresh update!
Gee whiz, even the washer and dryer look like they got a coat of white on white! Very pretty room
Wow!! What a difference – and budget friendly :)
Looks fabulous! What a difference a coat of paint makes! I love how you added the shelf under the cabinets and the drying rack that expands. It has totally motivated me to get busy updating my laundry room!
WoW! That looks amazing!
Very bright and airy! Love the new light. Was curious whether the washer and dryer are Speed Queens?
Lovely improvements! I always love how bright and cheerful your ideas are!
The wallpaper wasn’t THAT bad ;) love the new fresh look!
So fresh and airy even though there’s no window. My windowless laundry room, which is also the 3-cat bathroom, is one of the areas I want to work on now while I wait to win a small lottery to redo my floors throughout a la Centsational Girl’s gorgeous Nevada house wood-look tile floors. My laundry room should be a relatively cheap project as it will be basically repairing the wall where the too deep, wide and useless 2’x6′ bottom cabinets sat across from the washer/dryer and the cheap cabinet above the washer/dryer which had been ruined by leaking liquid soap, painting the walls and remaining upper cabinet and installing a Rubbermaid track system of wire shelves across the machines/sink wall. Once that’s done, I can have a ball checking for “clevers” from BHG which I love. Thanks for the painting tips and the inspiration.
Love it!!
Beautiful! Love how bright and airy it is!
It’s amazing how a new coat of paint can refresh a room. My master vanity needs a little sprucing up as well – I’ll be using your painting tips. Thank you!
Love the new look! And I really love the BHG products from Walmart!
I would love to re-do our laundry room…that just happens to double as our garage…oh, what a little paint and new accessories would do to make laundry some-what bearable!
Bright&Cheery!
Beautiful update! It’s amazing how a nice, bright laundry room actually makes laundry a little less painful.
Wow! What a difference, so bright and welcoming, love it!
Clean and fresh, a classic Centsational Girl before & after! Thanks for redirecting us to your cabinet painting tips, as I will need them in the near future.
This looks great – my laundry room desperately needs a refresh and this would be a great kick-off to that project. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the laundry room makeover! Especially the wall mounted drying rack. I hope to use some of the ideas myself. Thanks for sharing.
Looks so bright! I never heard of carpet tiles. What a great idea. Love the remodel!
It looks fantastic! Great job!
LOVE it!
Very, very impressive. Smart decisions and what a dramatic difference. I liked the feeling that I could actually do this redo-not the best DIYer out there right now. It gave me confidence. Thanks. Loved it.
This looks so good! I used carpet tiles in my laundry room and I really like how easy they are to move out of the way if I need to move our stacked washer/dryer. They’re easy to clean, too.
It looks so pretty! I’m in love with the wall mounted drying rack!
I have this paint color throughout my home! LOVE it, just mix it with different accent colors for a different feel in each room. We are prepping a new laundry room right now, so could really use a little extra for some fun things! And love the carpet tiles :)
Thanks!
Super fresh!
Looks so airy and fresh!
Looks great! Thanks so much for your wonderful how-tos!
Sweet! Nice and airy.
What simple fixes to create an entirely new fresh look. Always love white and adore aqua.
I like that you added a light next to the light/fan combo. I would like to do that as well as I would like to brighten up my laundry room. I have been painting samples of different light blues on the laundry’s off white walls. I think I am going to copy you and paint the room the bright white of my cabinets. Lovely ,affordable refreshing change to the room.
I love how clean and bright this turned out! inspiring!
Your blog never ceases to amaze me! It’s my all time favorite. I am amazed at how you can make it seem so doable. Thank you for sharing the sources for your designs as well! Bravo! Now I’m off to paint my bathroom cabinets finally. I appreciate the inspiration and this giveaway opportunity!
Love the wall color, drying rack and storage containers! Much improved from the “before” !
Love it!
I wouldn’t mind doing laundry in there, so cheery! Need one of those racks
It is amazing what a bit of paint can do to make a space sparkle. Wish I had that drying rack.
So much better! We’re doing a laundry room remodel now so I need all the inspiration I can get. Thanks Kate!
Love that mini shelf. We are going to do the same thing when we get to our laundry room (slow and steady wins the race…). Thanks for the update!
This turned out GREAT! The painted cabinets look awesome!
I’ll definitely be painting and priming my old wallpaper. Thanks.
I love that the color scheme is reminiscent of laundry soap. :) Love quick and satisfying refreshes like this!
I did not know that Wal-Mart had drying racks. Definitely need to go get one. The laundry room looks great!
Wow – what a transformation and some great ideas! I haven’t seen the wall mounted air dryer before which will work perfectly in my laundry space! Also love the hook idea!
Looks great! Love the colors you used and thanks for featuring the drying rack. I purchased myself one after seeing it here!
Looks amazing! Congratulations on a job well done!
Wow, what a beautiful transformation…it is so bright and cheery now…who wouldn’t want to spend time doing laundry in there!
Its amazing what a little TLC can do to brighten up the room.
This looks so pretty. I am always amazed at how much painting cabinets transforms the space!
Looks so much brighter now, especially with the blue floor tiles. Pretty!
I love this simple redo…I need that light fixture in my laundry room.
Great makeover, Kate! I have loved seeing the work you’ve done to the Las Vegas house!
I love it!
I love the drying rack!
I love getting updates on your Las Vegas house and you never cease to amaze me with the amazing make overs you do.
It’s once again all about the paint! So fresh and airy now. Looks great, Kate! Can you come to my house and do your magic?
Looks great! Wish we had an actual laundry room…our machine just float in the basement!
I had to keep flipping back and forth between the Before and After. Doesn’t even look like the same space! Just beautiful, Kate!
It looks great. I love the new light fixture.
what an amazing transformation. and good to know about repainting over wallpaper.
Thanks for the chance to win the gift card.
That is a great before and after. And that drying rack is really great.
Love the way it turned out!
What a great space! Good to know about options for old wallpaper!
Love the transformation! But where did you get the beautiful rug from?
great transformation! I love seeing simple refreshes that are weekend do-able!
What a difference that made!
Wow! It is amazing to see what paint and some other small updats can make to a room. Beautiful laundry room.
You motivate me!
Huge improvement without a major renovation! What a difference! Great ideas!
That’s a great refresh! I should give my laundry area some attention as I’m there’s lots of laundry in my future with a new baby!
love the pull-out drying rack! is it sturdy enough to hold heavier items, like jeans or sweaters?
I love the re-do, and the drying rack is something I’m definitely adding to my laundry room. Thanks!
The wall mounted drying rack is a genius idea. Can’t believe I never thought of that before. I am definitely getting one for my home!
What a great update! It’s amazing what a little time and paint can do to a space!
I need that drying rack!
You did an awesome job on your laundry room. It looks fantastic!
Love it! I would love to get an expanding drying rack like that one (or the ones like a clothesline that expand) as I am forever needing space to dry all those clothes I hang dry! Also love the idea of the pretty containers for laundry soap.
MY LAUNDRY ROOM IS VERY SIMILAR AND IS IN NEED OF A NICE LITTLE REFRESH LIKE THIS! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION TO GET MY BUTT IN GEAR!!
Love that drying Rack!!
Such a bright, fresh look! Love the carpet tile idea for a laundry room.
What a difference from 1988 to 2015. Bright, fresh and pretty!
Huge improvement! Wow. So crisp and clean looking.
I love the new feel of the room. Of course, that pale turquoise blue and white are my favorite combination. Thanks for showing us that huge improvements don’t have to cost a fortune.
Great job!
love the color choices, so bright and cheery.
This is a beautiful refresh! Amazing what a little bit of paint can do. And the shelf over the laundry machines looks like it adds so much function for you. My laundry space is in our basement’s utility room and is decidedly un-pretty. But maybe I can spruce it up with a Walmart gift card. :D
A quick weekend project for me! Turned out amazing!
Love the shelf above the washer and dryer. And the fold out drying rack. Nicely done.
Love how fresh and clean it looks. The BH&G towel rack looks terrific! I’ve never seen those at Walmart-Mart. I will have to look for them.
Great job – love the look!
Beautiful room. I love what you do!
Beautiful! I’m about to do a laundry redo and will take some of these ideas!
Beautiful! I had no idea that you could paint over wallpaper-brilliant!
Once again AHmazing!!! How would you like to come to Chicago AFTER I buy a house and tell me what to do ;)
We just bought a house and our laundry room needs a makeover. This post was great!
Love it!! Great post!
I dream of having a lovely laundry space such as yours, rather than my current “nasty, unfinished area of the 70 year old house’s basement.” Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful! It’s just so fresh and clean! Love it!
Such a huge improvement!
Makes me almost want to do laundry! So clean and fresh looking.
I love the makeover! Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway!
I love how bright and clean it looks!
Thanks for the contest! Love the ceiling fixture, might be just what I need. Going to take a look at it. Love the drying rack.
Love the paint color!!!
I moved to a new house in June and SWORE I’d get the laundry room to be homey and neat in this house. That gift card sure would help!
Love how bright and fresh the room looks!
WOW, what a change! “Fresh” really is the best word for it! Almost takes the drudgery out of laundry when you have such a nice space to work!
Beautiful and fresh! So awesome that you were able to paint over wallpaper, what a pain it would be to remove. Great job!
Love the makeover and tips for painting over wallpaper instead of removing! Also, the simple shelf over the washer/dryer – adds so much to that dead space!
I love the drying rack, and I desperately need one for my laundry room. However, the reviews for that rack on Walmart.com are not very good. Did you have issues with its sturdiness or with installing it?
Beautiful transformation!
I love it. So functional ! I think my favorite is the wall mounted drying rack
Looks great! Gives me inspiration to maybe redo my laundry room!
The laundry room looks terrific!
I love the drying rack!
I CAN DO THIS ONE! lol! So many projects are beyond me but this one is doable!
And that cute little shelf and drying rack! So handy.
Thanks for the inspiration;))
Looks great!
What a great and easy makeover!
Never thought of painting over wallpaper! Love how it turned out!
Looks so easy! Did you take off the cabinet doors and hardware to paint or did you leave them on and paint the hinges?
Oh I really need to do this to my laundry room. It’s dark and depressing since it’s in the basement. But I struggle with how to make the ceiling look pretty since it is open to allow access to the pipes, wiring, etc. Then it gets dusty, ick.
I absolutely LOVE the whole makeover! It looks like a new room. You took YEARS off it’s life!!!! Good choice on dealing with the wallpaper and the floor! My laundry room is nice and modern but could definitely use some organization! A $100 gift card would go a long way to getting it in shape. Thank you for the opportunity!!!!
What a great low cost makeover. I like the added shelf above the washer and dryer. Definitely something I could do in my laundry room.
It looks great!! I love how fresh and airy the bright white and calm colors feel. Really beautiful budget makeover!
My laundry room is on my list of projects for this year! It also encompasses a pantry area and the hot water heater, so we’re trying to figure out just how to make it all work together. Love your ideas! Thanks for the inspiration.
Gorgeous! I’m looking to paint my laundry room a fresh new color and bring in a new rug.
very cute, wanting to do this for my Laundry space.
It looks great! Love the soft blue and the FLOR squares. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! Looks so nice and clean!
Love how quick and easy this looks! Makes me want to tackle our laundry room ASAP!
